As a partial preterist I believe that most of matt 24 is fulfilled, but what about Matt 25 could this also be fulfilled as Gary Demar claims. The reason I think this might be so is that I don't see verse 36 as a transition but as references to verse 29. But that does not mean that heaven earth passed away AD70, but Jesus in verse 35 used such language to express the certianty of the promise. In other words: Heaven and earth will pass away (and they will at the 2nd Coming), but here is some truth that will always stand! The city of Jerusalem is going to be destroyed!
He also used this type of language to express the immutability of the law Matt 5:18
.Maybe I've got too much fulfilled, but I think fair look at the text will say otherwise. Would any agree? Any thoughts?

P.S. Disclaimer: I totally reject Hyper-preterism as heresy and see it as another religion. I would be a dispensationalist before I would be a hyper-preterist.
